Johnstone

Furlong   Ajayi   Bartley   Townsend

Livermore   Sawyers

Phillips   Pereira   Diangana

Zohore

Whilst praying that Gibbs is fit as I really do not want Townsend in the side. Removing HRK who has usurped his good games for the season and, whilst he tries hard, is not a starting striker. Need to hope one of Zohore or Austin steps up for the remainder of the season.

Bilic said he would be back for Charlton league game.

Gibbs is out for upwards of one month I believe. I would be happy with your selection.

I think that is harsh on HRK who is one of the reasons we are joint top.

He is, for a spell of 6-7 games he was superb, but let's not rest on our laurels. The last few games he has been back to his old/actual self.

Austin for me. Despite not scoring he seemed to enjoy himself on Sunday. I'd fancy him to get one this weekend.

Isn't it fantastic to have options after the last few years?!  :D

Zohore for me, now that we know his ongoing omission wasn't for anything serious. I'd like to see him given a run in Jan whilst we're potentially lining up transfer targets.

HRK works hard, but we know he's not a goalscorer and his lack of pace is one of our biggest issues imo. Austin is our best finisher but I'm not sure about him as a starter, also lacks pace. On paper Zohore has all the attributes to be a good lone striker at this level, and at 25 he's the only one with a chance of stepping back up to the Prem.

I know. I’ve not been convinced either but given he’s a bit of a confidence player and that it’s possible both other strikers have gone off the boil I’d play him. Especially as it’s the week after a good performance and goal, in exactly the same stadium. I’d play him as it doesn’t feel like a massive gamble.

Austin to start up front for me.

Zohore put in a good shift and scored last week but I still think he needs to do more off the bench to earn a start in a league game.

I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully after a decent break for the first team we will get a solid win and look to put the recent league performances behind us.

2-0 Albion, Austin and Livermore the scorers.

I am the same. I didn't see the whole Charlton game, but I did see his goal which was simple and nicely worked. He only had 8 minutes against Leeds but he gave their right back a few problems with his build and pace, pity there was no one in the box to pick up on his efforts.

I would like to see him start as well.
MAGA!

The one thing you have to factor in with Zohore also is that he played at the start of the season before Pereira was fully bedded in, so he had Krovinovic in behind him for the games he started who, as we can all now see, has nowhere near the creativity. Give him a go.

You need to start backing big Ken! I heard he made you a 60th birthday cake last year and everything.

When the ball hits the goal it's not Shearer or Cole it's Zohor-eeeeee!!

Looking forward to this, strong and well rested first 11. If we don't look like winning this game I'm going to start getting concerned.

Make Mercia Great Again. #MMGA

Robson-Kanu and Zohore spearhead the attack. Diangana on the bench

Think Bilić has noticed the job teams are doing on pereira so maybe moving him out wide may free him up.
